Should we not give Comrade Jarvis an opportunity of proving the correctness of this statement? I think so. Shortly after you if you will forgive me for touching on a painful subject have been haled to your dungeon, I will push round to Comrade Jarvis's address, and sound him on the subject. Unfortunately, his affection is confined, I fancy, to you.

By this light, a proper lad and a sturdy, in spite of freckles and sun-burning. He comes nearer still, I will have at him." "And, if you do," said his comrade, "you may get a broken head he looks not as if he would carry coals." "A fig for your threat," said Vincent, and instantly addressed the stranger.

"What! to jail?" cried his horrified friend, his conscience now troubling him, as the parting came, for his lack of kindness to an old comrade. "Not if the court knows herself. But to Buffalo, which is pretty much the same thing. Still, thank goodness, I don't need to stay there long. I'll be in New York before I'm many days older. I yearn to plunge into the arena once more.

When he had cast it from him he had tossed it into the nearby bushes, dimly thinking that if by chance he should escape he might return and find the weapon which he prized so highly.

He had no difficulty, however, in discovering the offender; for each of the other clerks looked at their comrade in virtuous horror, as though to say, "Oh! how could you? please, sir, it wasn't me, it was him;" while Ruggles applied himself to his work with an air of abstraction and a face of scarlet that said plainly, "It's of no use staring in that fashion at me, for I'm as innocent as the unborn babe."

By your merry honesty he knows you for a safe comrade, and he comes with relief and confidence we like to talk about ourselves. He will be equally frank with yourself; you will tell one another secrets; you will reach the heart of man. That is what we need. We must get the heart-beat into literature. Then will it quiver and dance and weep and sing. Then we are in the line of greatness.

But I want you to get into the habit of looking at things from the standpoint of this world, and not of the other.

He was heard by the Indians as well as by those in the canoe; but the latter happened to be nearer to the spot, and a few strokes of the paddles sent them alongside of their comrade, who quickly caught the stern of the bark.
